Last summer they forced City to break their transfer record for Riyad Mahrez. The Foxes acquired Mahrez for just €500,000 from Le Havre in 2014 before he was sold to the Premier League champions for €68m (£60m/$79m).

It was Leicester’s valuation that supposedly stopped United supremo Ed Woodward from signing him last summer, which reportedly angered Mourinho.

With the Red Devils missing out on Champions League football for next season an overhaul is expected, but Maguire is refusing to confirm he will be part of it.
